Hi Guys,
A nice an easy one for a seasoned web designer. Below is my file structure with the root file being displayed in red and the relevant subdirectories in blue.  Can anyone tell me why this code named index.html wont give me a background image: CODE <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta name="Author" content="Christopher Kelly"> <meta name="Keywords" content="Online, Virtual, notfuckingworking"> <meta name="Description" content="An virtualy interactive experince in and around harrogate!"> <link rel="stylesheets" type="text/css" media="all" href="cssbin/styles.css"/> <!-- my styles --> <link rel="stylesheets" type="text/css" media="all" href="cssbin/colorbox.css"/> <!-- Ripped off bettys looks like a bad idea--> <link rel="stylesheets" type="text/css" media="all" href="cssbin/960.css"/> <!-- 960 grid room for 12 & 16 grids --> <link rel="stylesheets" type="text/css" media="all" href="cssbin/text.css"/> <!-- Defaults for the text, set to the 960 grid --> <!-- check <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>--> <!-- <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/detect_timezone.js"></script> ssNon invasive timezone checker --> <title>Virtual Harrogate! </title> </head> <body id="bpage"> test <div class="container_12"> <div class="grid_6"> </div> <div class="grid_2"> </div> <div class="grid_4"> </div> </div> </body> </html> this is the content of the styles.css CODE /* Local Variable Declared Here */ #bpage { background-image:url('../images/harrogate.gif'); } Ive been messing about with it for hours... I believe i understand the parent child relationship as well ... although clearly i dont and im missing something quite obvious... all feedback is greatly appreciated thanks in advance |

I worked it out... or at the very least i can say it now works.
I removed the final 's' of 'stylesheets' ... it only took me 5 hours to spot that... so removed the s, uploaded, and it now works... Im not convinced though can someone confirm if this was the only thing i was doing wrong? |

You also mix XHTML syntax in an HTML document (though that wouldn't have affected the background issue you had).
The validator would have pointed that out. |

If it's to any comfort, I didn't spot it either when I read your markup through last night. Yeah, that was probably "it". |
